 Dear Sir or Madam,
Last Thursday, I traveled on the 8:00 a.m. train from Glasgow to London King’s Cross and I was quite angry about the service of your station.
The train didn’t come on time and it was forty minutes late when it left Glasgow. A man at the station said sorry to us, but he didn’t give us any reasons for the delay (误点). We then had further delays on the way and had to wait another thirty minutes. So I missed my plane from London to Frankfurt and had to wait for several hours.
What’s more (更重要的是), the service on the train was quite poor. The trip took more than five hours. Unluckily, we could buy nothing but some soft drinks on the train. Worst of all, something was wrong with the air conditioning and it got hotter and hotter in the train. Before we arrived in King’s Cross, the temperature was over 40℃.
Because of your poor service, I think you should pay me compensation (赔偿).
I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours, David Robertson

Dear Tony，

How are you? Thanks very much  1  your last letter．I’ve finished all my exams．The last one was history yesterday．I think history is really difficult  2  there are lots of facts and dates to remember．I have a poor memory and I hate to remember things．I’m afraid I didn’t  3  the examination．

This term，I took eight  4  in total（总计）．The worst were history and French．I found them boring and hard to learn．I’ve already forgotten most  5  teachers taught me．I need to study  6  than before．

I liked geography best，but we only had it  7  a week．Our geography teacher．Mr. Hill，was great．He taught us very  8  ．He didn’t give us too much homework   

We did a project with Mr. Hill about a few countries in Europe and Asia．Some of my classmates went to the library to  9  for photos and I used the Internet to search for（查找）some information．Mr. Hill gave us a lot of  10  advice．We could finish our report easily．

Please write and tell me about your year at school．

Yours，

David
